Buying a baby high chair can be a challenge, there is no one size fits all when it comes to choosing a high chair for your child. Some parents prefer a simple high chair while others are looking for extra features like; one hand removable trays, adjustable height or a folding high chair for easy travel or storage. Below you’ll find most popular and best rated high chairs by parents like you.

Which one you chose, is up to you, depending on your and your baby’s needs. We don’t recommend any specific product. Our goal is to present the best choices available out there based on feedback from parents like you.

We hope that our reviews will help you choose one that you and your baby will LOVE.

A high chair that’s incredibly flexible, easy to use and comes with entertainment for your baby to keep it happy while you’re doing something else or just want to have some time for yourself. What makes it stand out is the 7 points adjustable height which makes it easier to feed the baby if you’re standing or feed them when seated. Furthermore, the four swivel wheels are fantastic. That’s another excellent feature. This is very important when you need you need to move the chair just a few inches away or around the table. Not so easy to do it using a high chair on two wheels. Small thing but will make a huge difference in your life.

The three position recline The three position recline (recline, semi-recline and upright) is excellent for bottle feeding. And if your baby falls asleep after he eats, you can softly recline the back and let him drift off. It even comes with an extra removable newborn pillow for better comfort and more importantly to keep their head in place. And when they are older, you can have the back upright so they can enjoy their time at your family table.

The 7 points height adjustment is priceless for a multitasking mom or dad. This feature allows you to feed your baby depending on what you’re are doing. Standing up, sitting or just having a good time watching TV having your LO by your side. Moreover, it will extend the life of the chair as it allows you to position it at almost any regular dining or kitchen table height.

The recline and height adjustment make the higher perfect for a baby who is 3-4 months old up to about 3 years old. This will depend on how fast your baby matures. The chair can hold a child up to max 50 pounds. Both, the recline and height are very easy to adjust.

The tray can be easily taken off with one hand and is dishwasher safe. In fact, it comes with ‘two’ trays. One that snaps on top of the main tray so-called insert or liner and the main tray. Both are dishwasher safe and very easy to use. Having two trays is great because you’ll always have a clean surface when needed. They wash easily, fit standard dishwasher and are stain resistant. It pulls forward and back from your child by sliding it off to minimize food dropping on the seat. We all know that feeding a baby can be messy. So having a way to minimize it helps a lot.

Easy to use and move around. On four swivel wheels so moving it around the house or kitchen table is as easy as it could get. The recline, height adjustment, attaching and removing the tray are one hand operations (except for the height adjustment).

Entertainment for the baby. It comes with two adorable removable toys. A small one that is tethered and hangs off the side. It can go on either side of the tray. And a large that looks like a ‘jungle tree’ that attaches to the tray. The big one, besides animal faces, has lights and music that will entertain your LO. For the lights and music, you’ll need 3 AA batteries (not included). But they are not necessary. The toys provide enough entertainment without the batteries and will keep your LO busy and giggle.

The toys will be a lifesaver when preparing a meal for a fussy, hungry baby. Once the meal is ready simply remove the toys and the tray is ready for a meal time. Moreover, since they attach to the tray, a baby can’t throw the toys on the floor 🙂

Safe. Well built and has excellent stability. Each wheel has an independent lock on it. Even if you have a very active baby, you can rest assured that this high chair will not move. It also has a three point adjustable harness.

The leg-post (crotch post) that’s attached to the seat is another excellent feature. It keeps a baby from sliding off while you fasten the safety harness. It works great even when you start using it as a toddler chair without the harness and the tray and will keep them in the seat.

Foldable. It does fold but not flat. The legs fold together to be parallel, but the seat sticks out a bit. To make more compact, you’d have to remove the tray. When folded it is about half of its original length. Also because it has wheels on all legs it won’t stand on its own.

It does have a footrest, but it’s not adjustable. It doesn’t convert to a booster seat.

Cleaning. Just about anything about this high chair is super easy to clean. The seat cover wipes clean easily and is machine-washable. Even after many washes, it doesn’t shrink and looks great. The safety straps come off easily too and can be washed in the dishwasher.

All in all a great high chair. You can’t go wrong with it. It has all the features like easy to clean seat pad, one-hand tray removal, reclining seat back, and multiple height adjustments. Sturdy, durable, safe and easy to use. Not only a high chair that is just a safe place to eat but also provides a great entertainment for the baby too.

An excellent high chair that has (almost) everything on parents wishlist. Very versatile, well designed and functional. The pattern is gender neutral, so it is great for girl or boy. Sturdy and more importantly easy to wash. Lightweight so it’s easy to move between rooms and folds for storage.

Aside from all the features it has and how easy it is to clean. The biggest advantage it has over other high chairs is that it adapts to different stages as your child grows. Which means that you don’t have to worry about buying a high chair 12 months down the road. It will last from infant to youth. A chair that can be used early for feeding or to keep your baby busy at a table while you’re doing something else in the kitchen.

Moreover, it can be used for two kids at the same time. The little one and the bigger one. Either way, this chair will last for a long time.

Full-Size high chair:

Perfect for bottle feeding in the early days or to have your LO at a table level close by while you’re busy doing something else in the kitchen.

The leg height is adjustable, so you can set it to your table’s height or counter so your baby, or later on a toddler can feel like a part of the family. The height is easily adjustable with buttons on either side of the chair

The seat is padded well and includes an extra infant insert. It has three recline positions for infants to ensure that your baby is always and comfortable. It helps a lot especially when they fall asleep during eating. The recline is easily changed with a press of a button.

To keep the baby safe, it has a secure harness. On four wheels and easy to move around if needed. Another nice feature is the compartment in the footrest that holds wipes so you can quickly clean up your little one during mealtime. Very useful especially during the first few months. There’s also a handle on the back of the seat for storing bibs.

SpaceSaver high chair:

Once your baby is older, and you don’t need the full chair you can easily convert it to a space saver highchair that attaches to a regular chair. BTY, once detached, the legs easily fold for storage or can be used as a youth chair for another child.

The SpaceSaver is attached to a regular chair with adjustable straps that hold it securely to the bottom and the back of a chair.

It can be used to have your child at your dinner table or to keep them busy playing with toys on the tray while you’re doing something else.

During this stage, you can still use the harness to keep the baby safe and the padding insert for their comfort.

Booster seat:

The booster seat is very versatile too and can be used on a regular chair or on the high chair frame.

Even though the reclining back is removable, it will still keep your toddler safe and make them feel like they are BIG boy or girl 🙂

Great for parents whose kids like to sit at the table when they are home from school and like to do their homework or just want to hang out around parents playing at a kitchen or dinner table.

Also, the booster seat option is fantastic for parents with a ‘rebellious’ big one who just hates being strapped down, wants some independence and be able to feed himself/herself.

Youth chair:

Perfect for a toddler so they can climb and sit at the table comfortably.

No matter if they sit at the dining room table or in the kitchen you can adjust the seat height accordingly.

The legs of the chair are well made, so you don’t have to worry about the chair tipping over.

Parents who have two children love the fact that they can sit two kids at the same time and there is no need to buy another one. Great for those planning on having multiple children.

Footprint: An excellent choice for those who have a house. But if you live in an apartment it may be a tight fit. Here are the dimensions when fully set up:

32.7 in length (front to back)

22.8 in width (left to right)

At max height in full high chair mode, the top of the tray is about 33 in from the floor

The removable tray that comes with an insertis big enough for feeding or toys. The only downside of the tray is that it doesn’t have a cup holder. Other then that the tray is easy to take off and put back on. You can do it using one hand, but you might need a bit of practice. Another great space saving feature is if you don’t use the tray, it snaps into the back legs.

Cleaning: Having a high chair with great features is one thing. But a chair that’s great and easy to clean puts a smile on every mom’s face 🙂 And this chair will not let you down. Fisher-Price made one of the easiest to clean and keep it clean high chair.

The seat padding is easy to wipe and machine washable. Another great feature is the straps/harness. Instead of cloth, they are rubberized which makes them super easy to wipe off with a damp cloth. You can even remove them completely if you want to give them once a week deep cleaning. So much easier.

The tray is easy to take off for cleaning in the sink or a dishwasher. Moreover, even the seat comes apart and is completely dishwasher safe. Except for the legs, everything can be put in the dishwasher or washing machine for better sanitation. Being able to put the tray and the seat into the dishwasher is incredibly convenient. It doesn’t stain quickly; you can easily wash out be it spaghetti, lasagna, blueberry, and strawberry stains. Another great bonus is the design. The chair is designed to not have crevices to capture and hold food as well.

Foldable: It folds down easily for storage. All you need to do is to press two large buttons on both sides, and the legs fold and lock. When folded it’s pretty compact, about 1 foot wide. Even if you have a small kitchen or dining area, this might be a good choice.

Well built and safe. It does not tip over. The metal components and fabric are durable. It has locks on back wheels and safety 3 or 5 points harness.

Assembly is very easy. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. It takes about 15-30 min. There is no need for extra tools like a screwdriver as all the pieces snap together.

All in all an incredible high chair. Well designed and functional. You can use it as early as your LO is 2 or 3-month-old. The recline feature and the safety harness helps the baby to fully sit up on their own. Baby can sit comfortably in this high chair even for a great amount of time without being fussy.

All the features this high chair comes with make it an excellent purchase. Is going to be useful for many years to come.

The “Cadillac” of High Chairs. Will Last As Long As You Need It and More…

Graco 4-in-1 Seating System is another great choice for parents looking for a multifunctional high chair that will last as long as they need it. Loaded with great features every busy mom needs to make her life a lot easier.

SUPER versatile. The 4-in-1 aspect will allow it to be used at every stage of your child development. It has many height options and seating options, plus it looks beautiful. Parents love it because of its versatility and ease of use. Can be converted to a toddler seat and a booster seat which is very practical and economical. So let’s take a closer look. You’ll love all of the features this chair has to offer.

Stage 1 – High Chair:
You can start using this chair as early as your baby is 2 or 3 months old. It has removable infant head and body support that helps to keep the youngest member of your family in a comfortable position. It kind of cradles to the shape of your newborn, along with small wing pillows around the hips to keep them comfortable.

With the 3-position one-hand reclining seat, you can make sure that your growing child will always be comfortable. Which is perfect for after-meal naps too 🙂 Just pull it all the way back and let them rest. The 5 point harness will keep them safe at all times.

Stage 2 and 3 – Infant Feeding Booster and Toddler Booster.
The booster is very versatile, and you can use it in a number of ways. What’s great about it, is that it isn’t just a plain booster seat. It is adjustable. It has removable seat back insert with 2 setting, which helps you to keep the right distance from the table as your child grows. It comes with safety straps too which you can use depending on the age of your child.

What’s great about the booster, is that with the booster attached to a chair, you take the infant high chair and snap it onto the booster. (see picture above) so you can use it as two different chairs. This allows you to use this high chair for 2 children simultaneously (more about this below). The booster is very sturdy, easy to take on and off, and does not damage hardwood chairs.

You can even bring it with you while traveling to grandparents house, to a restaurant or on vacation. It’s super light and travels as well.

Stage 4 – Youth Chair or use it with 2 children at the same time.

And when your child is ready, use it as youth chair, or if you have or planning to have more children, this high chair can accommodate 2 children at the same time. So it’s pretty flexible.

You can have toddler using the booster and the little one high chair or have the booster attached to a chair and the high chair to the booster and have the older one sit on the youth chair. Pretty cool for one chair. It’s like two seats for the purchase of one 🙂 and you won’t clutter up your kitchen with more stuff!

Infant High Chair Recline Function

The infant part of the high chair has one hand adjustable 3 positions recline. You’ll love that you can adjust it to your baby’s needs. When your child is an infant the chair lays back for feeding and self-bottle feeding or you can set it upright for playtime or when you start feeding them with solids. Also great if they want to take a nap after feeding.

Adjustable height

With 6 points adjustable height you’ll be able to fit this chair to any table. You can bring it as high as a kitchen island or a bar or as low as your couch height and have them enjoy the ‘couch potato’ time with you 🙂

Excellent removable tray system

Although they call it 3 tray system it’s technically more like a 2 trays system plus top inset. However, this doesn’t take away anything from the chair.

You can use it with or without the tray. The one hand removable system is easy to use and clean. You can choose between small or large tray depending on your child needs.

All the trays are removable and dishwasher safe. However keep in mind that if you have a small dishwasher, the tray may NOT fit. So you may have to wash it in the sink.

Please note: Some customers have mentioned that the tray doesn’t go as close to the child as they would like to prevent food dropping from it. However, they may not be aware that the tray has adjustable positions. When you push the button on the front of the tray and slide it in the second time, it will click very close to the body even of a small infant. So it appears that some aren’t aware of this feature.

Easy to use and move around

Just about every part of it is one-handed operation except adjusting the height which obviously requires two hands. Anything else from removing or placing the front tray to reclining the back of the chair it’s all one hand operation, easy to do even if you hold a wiggly baby in your other hand.

Putting your child in and get them out of it is just as easy as anything else. You love the one push button. With one push all the straps are released, and you can easily and safely take your baby out of the chair.

It has wheels and is easy to roll around the house. Roll it with one finger be it on the tile floor, carpet, around your kitchen or even to your backyard patio to have breakfast with you. And doesn’t leave any scratch marks on hardwood floors either.

Side note: Actual, you won’t believe it how many moms or dads like to roll their baby around the house just for the fun of it 🙂

Anyway, although it is easy to roll around the house, it is heavy if you try to pick it up 🙁

Cleaning

Almost anything on this chair is removable and machine washable. Even the straps are removable and machine washable. If you want, you can throw them in the washer in a lingerie bag for a quick clean up.

The padding is faux leather which parents love. It is easy to clean or wipe up and also adds a touch of luxe to the whole look of the chair.

There are some but not a lot of tiny crevices for food to get stuck that will need to be cleaned. However, this shouldn’t be a problem and add extra time to your busy mom schedule.

Safe

The highchair structure is durable, sturdy, and substantially made. Wide wheelbase makes it impossible to tip. Wheels with locks made it easy to move around the house and yet secure it when needed. Seat is generously deep, so your child can’t throw weight to fall out to the sides.

Graco 4-in-1 High Chair Key Features:

Assembly

Everything comes inside one 4 ft tall box. Assembly is straightforward. There is like about 10 pieces that you need to put together. Just make sure you have a Phillips screwdriver, or you’re going to have a hard time.

It does NOT fold

You can disengage it like kind of take it apart. You can slide the youth chair under any standard table when it is in its lower height. And keep the rest in a corner. For many customers with limited space, it’s a big hassle to separate and assemble every time they need to use it. Other than that it’s pretty cool high chair.

Speaking of size, for some customers, it is bulky, for some, it’s just fine. It all depends on the space you have. So before you buy it keep in mind that the base of the chair is around 22 inches side to side and about 29 inches front to back. The base of the booster seat is around 15 1/4′ wide, and 16 1/4′ from front to back. Hopefully, the measurements will help you decide if this is something that would fit your home.

Overall it is a quality product highly recommend to anyone who is looking for something that is versatile, to hold your baby from running around in a safe place and that will last until… well… you don’t need it. And the frame isn’t an eyesore like so many other high chairs are and will complement any house decor.

Overall the vast majority of customers really love it. They say it is sturdy, folds and unfolds easily. Height adjustment is very easy to use and makes it easy use at be it the kitchen or dinner table.

You can take off the tray and pull the high chair right up to the table so even a two-year-old can join, or they can use it as a free-standing high chair.

However, there are a few flaws. Some however, find it difficult to remember the steps to open and close it. Too many sets of buttons, that are a little bit hidden, to squeeze to adjust positioning.

Some find that the footprint is enormous. This highchair takes up to six square feet of floor space, its legs are 2′ wide by 3′ long.

Easiest To Clean High Chair with All The Right Features

For many moms, if not all parents, ease of cleaning a high chair is on top of their must-have features list. You can have the most advanced high chair but if it ‘s hard to clean and it adds extra 15 min each time you use it to your already busy schedule you’ll hate it. So if you’re looking for a functional chair that requires the least amount of cleaning take look at OXO Seedling High Chair.

This one is one of the high chairs that is the easiest to clean. When you remove the cover and straps which is easy to do and clean (they are machine washable). You are left with solid molded plastic that is very easy to clean. There aren’t any fabric flaps or crevices where food can collect. Besides, it has other great features, and the look is simple and contemporary. Moms love it.

Here are the details:

You can use it as early as 3 or 4 months up to around 3 years. It will last for a while, so you won’t have to worry about buying another chair as your child grows. Stop using it when your baby weight exceeds 45 lbs.

The chair is well padded and comfortable. The cushion is attached very well, so they won’t slide off and covers not only the bottom and back but the sides of the chair as well which prevents food from hiding under the cushion.

The cushion is stain resistant so in the event they ‘paint’ the chair with spaghetti and tomato sauce you’ll be able to wipe it off quickly, and there will be no stains or marks, it will look like new.

With three easy to adjust recline settings, you’ll able to find a comfortable position for bottle or self-feeding. Also great if they fall asleep after a nice meal.

With 5 height setting, it fits almost any table. Which is great if you have tables of a different height. And also gives you the flexibility to make it comfortable for you whether you are standing or sitting when feeding your baby.

To give an idea how high or low you can set it (all measurements are approximate) the distance from the top of the tray to the floor are as follows:

In the highest setting, the distance is 33”

In the lowest setting, the distance is 27”

BTY, when the chair is set to the lowest height, you can slide it under a table to take it out of the way after mealtime.

Parents also like the fact that the plastic divider that goes between the baby’s legs is attached to the chair. This along with the 5 point harness keeps them safe and prevents from sliding off.

Parent and Child-Friendly Tray System

Tray system is one of the easiest to use. It slides on and off easily with one hand, you can even put it on or take off while holding a wiggly baby. There are 5 settings for the tray placement so you can have it close enough to your child to prevent most spills and pull it away as they grow.

Since the divider is attached to the chair, not to the tray like most high chairs are build, the tray sits flat on a table or counter. So, no plates or cups sliding off or no toys or food spilling all over the place.

It comes with a tray top. The top snaps on and off the tray easily. And because the tray cover extends around the edges of tray cleaning is easy. And no food gets under the top tray.

Both the tray and the top are machine washable. However, they may not fit in a small dishwasher. To give you an idea big they are here are approximate dimensions: the tray top is 19″ x 13″ and the try is 17″ x 13″

And when not in use the tray hangs on the back of the chair for easy of storage.

Easy to use and move around

Parents praise it for how user-friendly it is. Just about everything in this chair is easy one hand operation except for height adjustment. Maybe one day they’ll come up with one hand adjustable height system, but until then, you’ll have use two. But don’t worry, it is easy to do it even with a child sitting in it.

You can change the recline by pushing one button and set it to the desired position.

The chair rolls around our house beautifully be it hardwood, carpet or tile floor. On 4 wheels with locks on each wheel. You can lock and unlock them with your toe! They move independently of each other (360 degrees), which is excellent for maneuvering even the tightest corner in your home. So, no picking up to move it, just wheel it around. Best of all, they are rubbery and won’t damage or leave any scratch marks on wood floors.

Safe

To keep your child safe it has 5 point harness which is easily adjustable. The bar that goes between the baby’s legs is attached to the seat and has plenty of room for baby to grow.

It has locks on all 4 wheels to stop it from moving or to keep it stationary.

Extremely durable, sturdy with a solid base. The base of the chair is a metal frame which gives it excellent stability.

Easy to Clean

Moms favorite part is how easy it is to clean. Clean up is a breeze. If you’re looking to buy something with the least amount of cracks and crevices to clean, this chair won’t let you down.

When you remove the cushion (easy to do) and throw it in the washer, you just wipe down the chair with a sponge. It takes a couple of minutes.

The seat cover is nylon and wipes off easily. Everything be it tomato sauce, potatoes or oatmeal comes off easy without any effort and can be cleaned with a damp cloth. It spot cleans so well that you won’t have to machine wash it very often.

Assembly

Just like anything else it is very easy to put together. There are like 5 pieces to put together including the seat cover and straps. You’ll be done within minutes.

Please note: The chair does NOT fold. For storage, you can disassemble it and it doesn’t take a lot of space, but this is not something you want to do every day.

It has standard footprint which is approximately:

22″ side to side and
34″ front to back

Overall: Excellent quality and functionality. It has a nice modern look too. So if you’re looking for an affordable, simple, solid, easy to clean and use and reliable high chair, this one checks all the boxes. Available in many colors.

High Chair That’s Stylish, Compact, Functional and Easy To Clean Too

This is yet another excellent choice for those who hate spending a lot of time after each meal cleaning a high chair, rather than enjoy it playing with their little one or relax with the rest of family. Besides ease of cleaning it has another great feature, compact with very small footprint and no bulky legs to trip on 🙂 Stylish, the slick design will blend perfectly with any kitchen or dining room decor.

When you look at it, it doesn’t look like one of those ‘can do everything,’ not too bulky, kind of simplistic, but the first impression can be deceiving. In fact, it has a lot of hidden features and offers almost everything parents would want from the high chair.

Age range

From 6 months to 5 years. Although it is good to use from 6 months and up, you have to be sure that your baby can sit on their own which usually happens around the 6-month mark. But as you probably know children mature at a different rate, some can sit up early and a bit later. So as long as your baby can sit up and hold their head you’re ready to go, if not, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to use it.

Adjustable Height and Footrest

Although not visible or obvious there are 3 settings to adjust the height, to make sure that it will fit your table. There is enough flexibility to fit most standard dinner or kitchen tables (more about this below when I talk about footprint) and have your baby enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner time with the rest of the family.

The footrest has 4 settings. Depending on the age of your child you can use one or two steps at a time. The chair comes with a guide to select the best seat and footrest position based on child’s age. The settings are easy to use and have safety locks too.

Tray

The tray is yet another great feature. Adjustable and removable with one hand and easy to clean. You can do it while holding your baby in one hand and put on and take the tray off with the other. With the removable tray and crotch post which prevents the younger one from sliding off, you can use the chair any way you want.

You can set the tray to be very close to a baby, so there isn’t a gap and food isn’t dropping in the seat area preventing mess so there isn’t much cleaning to do after mealtime.

Footprint

Great for those with limited space or small kitchen area if the small footprint is critical in their choice. In fact, this chair’s footprint is similar to a regular dining/kitchen chairs, and it doesn’t stand out awkwardly.

It has perfect height to slide up to the table so baby can enjoy dinner with the rest of the family. Again, excellent chair for a small kitchen or dining room.

Seat cushions

Seat cushions are comfortable and attached with velcro on the bottom, so they are easy to detach and clean. Although they are well made and durable, depending on usage, you may have to replace them once during the lifetime of the chair. They cost around $50.00 and are available in many colors.

Safe

One of the highest rated high chairs in consumer reports. The back is high enough to support babies learning to sit up, and the 5 point restraint system along with the crotch post keeps them safe. It is compact, but the base is wide enough to keep it very stable, so you don’t have to worry about anything.

Clean up after meals could not be easier

It could not be easier to clean up after meals. Just wipe the whole thing down, and you’re done! The seat cushion doesn’t absorb liquid and doesn’t stain. It wipes right off be it sweet potatoes, carrots or anything else. So no stains too, keep it fresh and clean all year long.

Although the tray is dishwasher safe, some parents have reported that when they put it in a dishwasher, some water gets in through the holes. It appears like a design flaw. To avoid this problem, some have learned to place it a certain way, so the water doesn’t get in. And since it is so easy to wipe down, some don’t use the dishwasher at all. All you need is soap, water, and a washcloth, and it cleans just fine.

Assembly

Easy to assemble. Instructions are easy to follow. It takes about 30 min. by not so savvy handywoman 🙂 You will need a Phillips screwdriver.

Things that you need to know

This high chair does NOT fold; it does compliment any kitchen or dining room, and the footprint is small enough to push it under a table or out of the way into a corner, but it’s not good to travel with.

The chair is designed for children who can sit up, as the back does NOT recline. Great for meal and playtime but no after-meal naps in it. For many parents, this isn’t a problem.

It does NOT have wheels. But repositioning it is n’t an issue. It is heavy enough to be sturdy and stable, and lite enough to easily maneuver it and get your baby in and out of very easily.

Overall

Well made, functional and stylish high chair. It does not take up much room, is heavy and sturdy enough to not worry about tipping and light enough to move easily and most importantly. Easy to clean.

A little pricey but worth it. It can be used as early as your baby is 6 months and is adjustable as our baby gets older. And it won’t make your dining area look a like a preschool or kindergarten but more like a warm family place to eat. Available in many colors.

Abiie Beyond Wooden High Chair. Functional and will Last for Years.

For many parents, Abiie Beyond Wooden High Chair is a dream come true because it is one of the few ‘baby’ products that your child will NOT outgrow it anytime soon.

And best of all you can easily convert it into an ordinary chair that even adults can use, and it doesn’t look like a “baby” item.

Easy to use and functional

You’ll love the multiple uses and easiness of use.

It has good size tray. The plastic tray cover is simple to remove one-handed and dishwasher friendly. You can do it with only one hand while holding the baby with her other. But most of the time all you’ll have to do is to wipe it down which is perfect for multitasking mom!

The chair is very comfortable, and the padding is soft. Easy to adjust too. The seat and footrest are easily adjustable. You can transform it to a toddler’s or a dining chair for all ages within less than 20 seconds! And once it is converted into a chair, it doesn’t look like a baby chair anymore. You can have a guests sat on it without realizing that they sit on a ‘baby’ chair.

Adjust it within less than 20 seconds!

Lighter weight too, although it doesn’t have wheels, it is easy to push around on a floor and have your little one sit next to you while you’re cooking or prepping dinner or watching TV.

Safe

Comes with a dual restraint system wich can be adjusted for a 5-point harness or a 3-point harness. Keeping your loved one secure and comfortable. The strap system is easy to use too and very flexible. Is is long enough to let your child ‘lose’ so they can lean to the side or forward, or have them a little tighter to keep them upright.

The belt is made of the similar material as car seat belt. It has two straps for the shoulders, two around the sides, one up between the legs. Even as your child grows, it will be safe without the harness, because the wood leg divider (which is removable) goes all the way up to the tray and the sides are so high to keep your child secure.

It is sturdy and made of high-quality wood. All Abiie high chairs meet or exceed ASTM F404-10, HR.4040 & JPMA 2.0 standards.

Small footprint

Another thing parents appreciate about this chair is the small footprint, it’s roughly 18″ x 22″ at the base and about 33″ tall which is great if you have limited space.

One of the things that you’ll love about this high chair vs. others is the easiness of cleaning. Even after big messes like spilled cake icing or spaghetti including the source can be cleaned in minutes. Just pop the tray into the dishwasher, the wood cleans up well by wiping it down so the soft water-resistant cushion. And if you need to give it a good cleaning, put the seat pad in the washing machine and it came out looking like brand new.

There are no places no corners for food to hide, the waterproof back and seat cushions pop right off for cleaning. BTY, the seat pads are easily replaceable if something happened to them they could be purchased separately.

Easy to assemble

Assembly is a breeze. It shouldn’t take more than 30 min. And the directions are very clear. There are also instructional videos online if you need more help.

Please keep in mind, the chair does not fold, but it has a small footprint and is not too heavy to move for storage or could be tucked away in the corner of your dining room.

Overall

Final thoughts on the Abiie high chair. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a high chair that will last and their child will not outgrow it. This one will last your child a very, very long time. A chair that is safe, sturdy, easy to clean, and comfortable for your baby.

It takes about 20 seconds to adjust and accommodate your child at any age. Another plus this chair will work for a boy or girl and looks good with any home decor.

Comes with a 3-year manufacturer limited warranty.

It is a little more expensive but since this chair can be adjusted to your child’s growth and it will work for many more years to come it is well worth the price. Available in 5 colors.

‘Grow With Me’ Affordable Fisher-Price® High Chair

If you’re looking for a simple high chair that you can fold, with washable seat pad, 5 point harness and more importantly a chair that converts into a toddler seat, this one chair does it all. Fisher-Price® Grow-With-Me High Chair is a great inexpensive choice.

Smaller than other high chairs which make it ideal for small spaces and if you don’t want a chunky high chair. Nicely fits against any standard table so your little one can eat with your family, participate in the dinner time conversations and doesn’t have a large footprint.

Easy to use, from the initial set up to daily use. It feels sturdy and well built.

Tray

The tray is easily removable and clicks on and off. It only has 2 settings but they are sufficient, so you can always have it close to your baby to catch spills.

Although you’ll need to use both hands to remove the tray, some parents with practice can remove it with one handed while holding the baby.

You can use the tray when it is in a baby high chair or toddler mode.

Another nice touch about this tray is the non-slip ring in the middle. When toddlers begin to feed themselves, you’ll have one less thing to worry about their plate or bowl sliding around and/or ending down on the floor. The tray is easy to clean and dishwasher-safe.

Multi-Functional

The fact that it is height adjustable is quite impressive for a highchair in this price range.

It has a button on the foot of each leg you push in while you pull the legs up or down to adjust to the desired height.

It fits perfectly pretty much every standard table. The heights of the seat positions from the floor are approximately 29 and 32 inches.

Although it does have wheels, it is light weight and very easy to move around. For safety, it has rubber anti-slip feet. It’s compact and cute, opens and folds easily.

It converts to a booster seat easily. Just remove the seat pad, and the back, and you only use the lap safety belt, instead of the 5 point harness.

Safe and Sturdy

Despite the low price, parents agree that the chair is safe, sturdy and well build. No moving or shaking. The legs are wide spread which makes it resistant to tipping, and yet for its wide stance, it has a smaller footprint than other chairs.

Your child will be comfortable and secure in it.

It has 5 point harness in the ‘baby’ mode which converts to 3 points in ‘toddler’ mode which is very practical and will reduce your child frustration of being tied to a seat.

Cleaning

You will be cleaning your highchair a lot, so the easier it is to clean, the better. And you won’t be disappointed with this one. This chair is very easy to clean largely due to its simple design. One of the best things about this high chair is the removable and washable seat cushions. No more hidden food debris in those hard-to-clean cushion corners.

Just take the pad and straps off and throw them in your washing machine. The tray is easy to clean too, and it won’t get stained by sweet potatoes or marinara sauce like other trays. It is so easy to clean that you can have it like brand new after every meal, not matter how messy it is. Even the straps can be removed for cleaning.

Assembly

Very easy to put together and comes with clear instructions. It takes a few screws, a screwdriver, and no more than 20 – 30 minutes. Maybe be 45 the most if you need more time. But no more than that to have it all setup.

Having said that, there are few things you need to keep in mind before making a purchase decision. Although this is a great high chair, at this price point you’ll have to give up on a few things.

It does not have reclining back, that’s why it is recommended for children who have enough upper body control to sit up which is about 6 months.

It does fold but NOT fully when folded it reduces the footprint by about 30%. For more compact folding, you’ll have to remove the tray. Not the perfect chair to travel with. However, it is smaller than most high chairs if you want something fairly compact for a small house or an apartment.

There is no cup holder on the tray.

It does have a footrest but it’s not adjustable, however, some parents say that their kids never used it anyway.

It has no wheels, but it is light and easy to move from one room the another. So this shouldn’t be an issue.

The tray only has two attachment points so that’s not very adjustable, however, it wasn’t a huge issue for most parents.

Overall

All around an excellent chair, good quality and sturdy. The attractive gender-neutral design will fit in any home.

The real plus point is that as your child grows, this highchair adapts. So your child can sit at your family table, secure and feels safe in this chair. Perfect product for families on a limited budget.
